Madman, you got an inch? We only got 3/4 over here. Perfect day to sear weeds - not too windy and everything wet meant safe and controlled. I agree - I'd get a long nozzled burner if I had a lot to do. Mine was cheap though. Just like me.

I would look out the windows of Camp Drake Elementary and marvel at the tedious care given each tree provided its own straw mat wrapped around the trunk at about head-level and tied with the same jute material. It was very pretty and precise in that alien Japanese way. The gardener told me those were not decoration, and they were not straw jackets to protect the trees from cold. They attracted insects to nest and then they would be burned.

I'll second that request.

I don't see flame being any more selective than Roundup, which is something I rarely use against weeds in my lawn for that very reason. And when I do, I'm painting it onto the weed with a small foam brush because it has survived being sprayed with SpeedZone, Drive XLR8 and Ortho Max.
